Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is a common malignancy in the female reproductive system, characterized by poor prognosis and high recurrence rates. The discovery of dependable molecular markers is crucial for improving the timeliness of detection, diagnosis, and treatment, ultimately aiming to lower fatality rates. CNNM4 (cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 4), a member of the CNNM (Cyclin M) family, binds to PRL (prolactin) to regulate magnesium homeostasis and influence tumor cell proliferation.

Recently, peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) has become the most promising conjugated drug for tumor therapy after antibody-drug conjugate due to stronger tumor penetration capacity and lower immunogenicity. CBP-1018 was a PDC with dual-ligand conjugated to MMAE via a cleavable linker (MC-Val-Cit-PABC) that can be lysed by cathepsins B. In this study, two specific LC-MS/MS methods were developed and validated for the determination of CBP-1018 and its metabolite MMAE in human plasma.

Background: In previous investigations, we explored the regulation of gastric function by hydrogen sulfide (HS) and L-glutamate (L-Glu) injections in the nucleus ambiguus (NA). We also determined that both HS and L-Glu have roles to play in the physiological activities of the body, and that NA is an important nucleus for receiving visceral sensations. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential pathway link between L-Glu and HS, resulting in the regulation of gastric function.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a recently discovered gaseous neurotransmitter in the nervous and gastrointestinal systems. It exerts its effects through multiple signaling pathways, impacting various physiological activities. The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), a vital nucleus involved in visceral sensation, was investigated in this study to understand the role of HS in regulating gastric function in rats.

To evaluate the distribution of choroidal thickness (CT) and its trend with age in healthy people using 120° ultra-wide field swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA). In this cross-sectional observational study, healthy volunteers underwent single imaging of the fundus with UWF SS-OCTA at a field of view (FOV) of 120° (24 mm × 20 mm) centered on the macula. The characteristics of CT distribution in different regions and its changes with age were analyzed.

Flexible wearable sensors with multifunctional features have attracted great interest in various applications such as disease diagnosis, environmental detection and healthcare monitoring. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a multifunctional sensor with super water resistance without compromising the overall performance of the sensing material. Here, we developed a 3D bifunctional flexible sensor based on an MXene melamine sponge (MS) through a simple and effective ultrasonic mixing process and a further vacuum annealing process.

Purpose: To compare the detection rate of diabetic retinopathy (DR) lesions and the agreement of DR severity grading using the ultra-widefield color fundus photography (UWF CFP) combined with high-speed ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA) or fluorescein angiography (FFA).

Methods: This prospective, observational study recruited diabetic patients who had already taken the FFA examination from November 2021 to June 2022. These patients had either no DR or any stage of DR.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study identified critical regulatory regions of the WNT4 gene, particularly the 5′ region from −3354 to −2689, which responds strongly to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulation.
  • * A specific single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at site −3015 (G > C) was linked to changes in NFAT5 binding and was found to be associated with traits like comb length in hens, indicating its role in WNT4 gene expression and FSH response.

Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin analog, which plays an important role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Biosimilar products of insulin glargine can provide patients with additional safe, high-quality, and potentially cost-effective options for treating diabetes. This article presents a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, two-treatment, four-period, replicate crossover, euglycemic clamp study which was designed to evaluate the PK and PD similarity between the recombinant insulin glargine developed by Wanbang (test) and Lantus (reference) in healthy volunteers.

An extracellular thermostable xylanase (XynNTU) from Paenibacillus campinasensis NTU-11, consisted of a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 11 catalytic domain, a Gly/Pro-rich linker sequence (LS) and a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6), was identified and expressed in E. coli BL21. The purified XynNTU had a specific activity of 2750 U/mg and an optimal activity at 60 °C and pH 7.

Inflammasome, a multiprotein complex that regulates interleukin (IL)-1β secretion and pyroptosis, participates in numerous inflammatory diseases, including sepsis, atherosclerosis and type-2 diabetes. Investigating the inflammasome regulation is therefore crucial to understand the inflammasome activation and develop treatment for the related diseases. In addition, it remains unknown how the inflammasome is naturally suppressed during the inflammatory process.

Iron dextran is a common anti-anemia drug, and it requires low molar mass dextran as substrate. In this work, we selected 11 amino acid residues in domain A/B of DSR-MΔ2 within a 5-angstrom distance from sucrose for site-directed mutagenesis by molecular docking. Mutation of Q634 did not affect the enzyme catalytic activity, but showed an obvious impact on the ratio of low molecular weight dextran (L-dextran, 3,000-5,000 Da) and relatively higher molecular weight dextran (H-dextran, around 10,000 Da).

Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) has recently been identified as avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) replication-dependent factor that remarkably facilitates ALV-J replication via interaction with the envelope glycoprotein (SU) of ALV-J. However, the dynamic distribution and localization of CTHRC1 in various tissues upon ALV-J infection are still unknown. In this study, data revealed that the levels of CTHRC1 were significantly increased in various tissues and that the protein was mainly located in the cytoplasm and nucleus of parenchymal cells in tissues of chickens that were infected by ALV-J naturally and experimentally.

Background: Follicle selection in chickens refers to the process of selecting one follicle from a group of small yellow follicles (SY, 6-8 mm in diameter) for development into 12-15 mm hierarchical follicles (usually F6 follicles), which is an important process affecting laying performance in the poultry industry. Although transcriptomic analysis of chicken ovarian follicles has been reported, integrated analysis of chicken follicles for selection by using both transcriptomic and proteomic approaches is still rarely performed. In this study, we compared the proteomes and transcriptomes of SY and F6 follicles in laying hens and identified several genes involved in chicken follicle selection.

Combining photothermal and photodynamic modalities has shown encouraging therapeutic efficacy against various malignant cancers. Developing a delivery method for targeting and penetrating tumors is still a major focus for advancing this therapeutic approach. Herein, we report a novel strategy involving the utilization of stem cells as a live carrier to codeliver photothermal and photodynamic agents for cancer therapy.

Studies were made on the influence of temperature and oxygen to carbon ratio (the O/C ratio) on the properties of particles during water coal slurry gasification by taking a new-type coal-water slurry gasifier as the thermal experiment platform, coal-water slurry as a gasification material, and oxygen as the oxidant. The results show that the higher the gasification temperature, the more spherical particles are generated, the higher the content of Na, Fe, and S on the particle surface, and the greater the mass percentage of fine particles. With increase in the O/C ratio, the production of fine particles also increases, while the carbon content of the particles decreases.

Benzonatate has been used as a non-narcotic oral antitussive drug for many years. Its pharmacokinetics has never been reported due to the technical difficulties in detecting benzonatate by mass spectrometry. However, its concentration can be extrapolated based on the concentration of its metabolite, 4-(butylamino)benzoic acid (BBA).
